Subcontractor applying for a 189 visa

[Leanned3012]

Hi all, just wanted some tips on the kind of work evidence any subcontractors provided when applying for a 189 visa?

 

My partner is a joiner and isn't employed by a company, the last few jobs he has had have been through a contractor and he doesn't do any work outside this other than the odd day job so doesn't have a portfolio of clients. Do we just need a statement from the contractor and any evidence of his weekly pay?

 

Thanks

Leanne

Hi Leanne

 

The evidence needs to show that the type of work done is relevant to your partner's nominated occupation (eg joiner) and that the work was paid work averaging more than 20 hours per week.

 

Therefore your suggestion is a good one. A statement/letter/reference/contract document from the contractor could be used to confirm the type of work done, and records of payment (eg one or more of invoices, pay slips, tax records, statements) could be used to confirm that the work was 'paid work'.
